Locks while Miz and Maryse looked on in fear.<\/p>\n<p>R-Truth has been boasting about his winning streak (of one), being in the main event of Smackdown, and his new partnership with Carmella as they are now paired in the Mixed Match Challenge.\u00a0 Here are some tweets from Truth:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Y\u2019all ain\u2019t seen nothin yet!!
